Deuteronomy 32:6

     6. is not he thy father that hath bought thee—or emancipated thee from Egyptian bondage.

      and made thee—advanced the nation to unprecedented and peculiar privileges.

1 Chronicles 29:10

     10-19. Wherefore David blessed the Lord—This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life. Its piety is displayed in the fervor of devotional feeling—in the ascription of all worldly wealth and greatness to God as the giver, in tracing the general readiness in contributing to the influence of His grace, in praying for the continuance of this happy disposition among the people, and in solemnly and earnestly commending the young king and his kingdom to the care and blessing of God.

Isaiah 64:8

     8. father— (Isa 63:16).

      clay . . . potter— (Isa 29:16; 45:9). Unable to mould themselves aright, they beg the sovereign will of God to mould them unto salvation, even as He made them at the first, and is their "Father."
